To think that if a post is deleted...

That posts that follow which quote the deleted post should also be removed?

I've seen so many threads in the past couple of days where there's a post quoting a deleted post which hasn't been deleted.

Why not? Has anyone else noticed this?

Posts that quote deleted posts are deleted saying that. Some will inevitably be missed.

But more posts than not seem to remain. I haven't seen the quoted posts deleted for a good while now

If they've missed them, report the posts.

If they've missed them, report the posts.

Exactly.

Generally, posts quoting a deleted post will be deleted too. I haven't noticed this not happening.

They will only likely be deleted if they are reported - so that’s what you need to do when you see them.

Usually they are deleted if they are missed, report, it’s not a big deal or thread worthy is it?

Is it the poster that deletes the post or MN ?
I think MN has become a really horrible place at times.
I felt so sorry for the op of a post that has been recently removed. People come here for support and must go away feeling worse.

@Babyroobs I've just seen one it was brutal what I read the lady had issues I was writing a reply to say I hope she finds happines what ever the out come and the posts had been deleted I'm now sat hoping shes ok

If they are quoted they get deleted. But if someone has cut and pasted the message, it won't be tracked and can't therefore be automatically removed.

Yes I seriously hope she is ok too. It was brutal. I'm appalled.
